Et ses formats (pré)définis, tels que :
$dateTime = new DateTime();
$dateTime->format(DATE_ATOM); // "Y-m-d\TH:i:sP" qui retourne : 2015-01-28T15:12:00+01:00
// ou
$dateTime->format(DateTime::ATOM); // "Y-m-d\TH:i:sP" qui retourne : 2015-01-28T15:12:00+01:00
// manuellement à la française
$dateTime->format('d/m/Y \à H\hi'); // qui retourne : 28/01/2015 à 15h12
